The Montreal
Protocol will have
reduced net GWPweighted emissions
from ODSs in 2010
by about
11 Gt CO2-eq yr-1, or
5-6 times the
reduction target of
the first commitment
period (2008-2012)
of the Kyoto
Protocol.

Remaining ODS “banks” = Significant Climate Threat
! 
Montreal Protocol stops at production of CFCs
and other ODS
! 
Kyoto Protocol does not include ODS
! 
ODS produced prior to their phaseout
deadlines remain in legal use
! 
In US and many other countries, no controls
over emissions at end of life

IPCC/TEAP 2005-2010
! 
If over the next two decades the emissions of all ODS
in banks were prevented, the direct, positive radiative
forcing would be equal to approximately 3-4% of the
total radiative forcing from all anthropogenic GHG
emissions over the same period.
! 
Without immediate action, reachable banks will emit
approximately 6 billion tons of CO2 equivalent by 2015
--- offsetting and surpassing the 5 Gt CO2 eq reduction
sought during the first commitment period of the Kyoto
Protocol.

Two ODS Destruction Protocols Approved by CAR
1. 
CFC refrigerants and foam blowing agents originating
in US**
2. 
CFC refrigerants originating in Article 5 countries
• 
Both protocols require destruction in US
** ARB adopted domestic protocol for AB 32 offsets

Eligibility for Domestic Projects
1. Location
ODS must be sourced and destroyed in
U.S. or its territories
2. Project Start Date
Destruction within 6 months of project
submission
3. Additionality
Legal test: Montreal Protocol and U.S.
law limit production and intentional
release of ODS, but no requirements for
destruction
Performance standard: Destruction rare
4. Regulatory Compliance
99.99% destruction efficiency
RCRA/Clean Air Act permits
